# Creative Writing Skills
[](https://github.com/haowjy/creative-writing-skills/actions/workflows/ci.yml)
[](LICENSE)
Write novels, short stories, and serial fiction with AI that maintains your voice, tracks your continuity, and gets better the more you use it. From first brainstorm to polished draft: specialized agents handle each mode of work (writing, critiquing, revising, exploring) while shared skills carry the craft methodology.
**What you get:**
- **Brainstorm without committing**: explore plot options, character arcs, and world mechanics with multiple AI perspectives before deciding anything
- **Write in your voice**: create style files from your existing prose, then draft new scenes that match
- **Catch your own mistakes**: structured critique, continuity checks, and simulated reader reactions
- **Keep everything in sync**: knowledge base updates as your story evolves
## Quick Start
```bash
meridian mars add haowjy/creative-writing-skills
meridian mars sync
meridian bootstrap
```
## Installation
### Mars (Meridian)
```bash
meridian mars add haowjy/creative-writing-skills
meridian mars sync
```
Then run `meridian` to start a session with muse. First-time setup runs the bootstrap automatically.
### Claude Code / Cowork
Claude Code and Cowork use the same plugin format.
**Claude Code**: add the marketplace and install:
```bash
/plugin marketplace add haowjy/creative-writing-skills
/plugin install creative-writing-skills@cw
```
**Cowork**: in the sidebar, **Customize** → **Personal plugins** → **+** → **Create plugins** → **Add marketplace** → **Add from repository**, enter `haowjy/creative-writing-skills`, then install the **creative-writing-skills** plugin. (Same flow as [Claude.ai](#claudeai) below — Cowork just also runs the agents.)
Once installed, start a session with muse as your agent:
```bash
claude --agent creative-writing-skills:muse
```
Run the one-time project setup to create your `CLAUDE.md` and `kb/` structure:
```
/creative-writing-skills:project-setup
```
### Claude.ai
`creative-writing-muse` turns an ordinary Claude chat into a creative writing partner. Turn it on, tell it what you're working on, and it carries you from first idea to finished draft in one conversation — talking through ideas, drafting scenes in your voice, flagging what isn't working, and revising. The other skills (prose, scene craft, critique, structure) are the craft knowledge it draws on; you don't have to invoke them yourself.
First, add the skills to claude.ai — pick one:
- **Add the marketplace (easiest):** in the sidebar, **Customize** → **Personal plugins** → **+** → **Create plugins** → **Add marketplace** → **Add from repository**, enter `haowjy/creative-writing-skills`, and click **Sync**.
- **Upload the files:** download the `.skill` files from the [latest release](https://github.com/haowjy/creative-writing-skills/releases/latest), then **Customize** → **Skills** → **"+"** → **Upload skill** for each one.
Then start a chat, turn on **`creative-writing-muse`**, and describe what you want to write — it leads from there. Adding skills one at a time instead? Start with **creative-writing-muse**, **writing-principles**, **creative-writing-craft**, **creative-writing-craft**, and **story-review**.
> Want to build the files yourself? Clone the repo and run `python scripts/create_skill_zips.py` to regenerate them in `zips/`.
